This is ambient only. There is a bit of a yellow cast yet back by the stairs, and now I wish I had shut the door by the stairs.

No Entry sign, hampton in Arden, January 2009- probably not actually pre-Worboys, but doing a good impression of one...
Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump is one the oldest, largest and best preserved buffalo jumps in North America. The name refers to a young Piegan brave who stood below the sandstone cliffs to watch a hunt and was later found under a pile of buffalo with his skull crushed in.
For over 6000 years aboriginal people used the buffalo for their survival and drove them over jump sites across the western plains. Head-Smashed-In is among the largest and best preserved of these jump sites.
My entry for the BrickFair 2010 Combo Build, graciously hosted by Steve Witt and TLG. It's a bit of a continuation of the action in this set - as per my MOC card, "With the gold stolen from under the Space Police's nose, Rench finally got to buy the criminal mastermind's secret base he always dreamed of.
"Too bad he's colorblind, though."
I was pleasantly surprised to find that the MOC was one of three chosen from the 30 participants to win - I got to walk away with all three Exo-Force sets that were part of the build and a White Boba Fett for placing! It was a pretty good day.
(I should also mention that Rich took this picture, since my camera is MIA from the weekend - all rights belong to him, used by assumed permission. ;))
What makes a human stand out from other living beings is his capability and
quest for innovation, ideas and creativity. To that, electricity plays a
vital role in making the modern life move and make a sustainable
environment for the mankind. Infact, the creativity/idea is so deeply
related to current that it has become a standard to illustratively depict a
person with an idea, with a lighted bulb.
But what if there was no current tomorrow? On a lighter vein, that bulb
would not light up! Idea/creativity/innovations would stop and bring the
human race to a grinding halt.
We need to act now and save electricity!

2. Dated 1886. Square Purbeck Stone structure in medieval military style. Three stages. The centre stage has 2 round-headed windows in the north and east faces. On the east face, between the windows, is a date stone - 1886. Above this, below the parapet, is a stone inscribed "239 ft above sea level". Immediately above this is a plain ashlar stone panel lettered "Swanage Water Works" - this is now rather faint. The top stage of the tower has 2 narrow slit windows in each face. The parapet is finished with battlements above a projecting string course. Circular projecting turret in one corner, with a seagull as weather vane. South of the tower and attached to it is a single-storey block, with Purbeck Stone walls and roof. The eaves gutters discharge into shaped stone chutes. Two round-headed windows in the south gable wall. In the east wall of this block are a large door opening and a segmental-headed window. No longer in use as a Water Tower.
THE WATER TOWER, SWANAGE
The Water Tower was built by George Burt, nephew of John Mowlem, In 1886. They were both born in Swanage and were quarrymen who made their way to London and became successful businessmen and great benefactors to Swanage. Burt and an architect friend by the name of Crickmay mapped out his dream of Durlston Park Estate that stretched south from the Ship Inn on the seafront at Swanage to the sea at Duriston Country Park (at Durlston Castle you will see the two turrets similar to the one at the corner of this tower)
George Burt wanted Swanage to have a supply of piped water and gas and the small carved lettering art the front ashlar panel of the Tower refers to various acts of Parliament pertaining to Swanage Gas and Water supply.
From the 1883 Parliamentary Archives
The 45ft high tower contained two lead lined tanks holding 5,737 & 22,0000 gallons respectively. Water was pumped to the tanks from an artesian well at Sunnydale by two 8 hp gas engines contained in the attached 'pump room to the South of the Tower.
In 1892, George Burt built a reservoir to the North of the town at Ulwell and we believe that the Water Tower simply became redundant. In 1919 a public water authority was formed and assumed the responsibility for the town's water supply.
During World War II the building was requisitioned by the war department to be used as a machine gun post and we believe that the lettering was cemented over at this time to prevent easy recognition of the location by enemy aircraft. During the ensuing years it apparently served as a storehouse for various large items such as stationary and vintage motorcycles and cars belonging to several owners. We believe it left the ownership of the Burt family in the 1950s. The Tower was assigned a Grade II listing in 1985. The previous owners bought it in 1991 and converted it to a residential house. In 2017 the existing owners purchased the property and have renovated it extensively
The cast iron gate and spike topped end railing in the garden are the remains of railings which were pulled dowit in the Hyde Park Riot of 1866 These and the bollards used for the gate posts were brought down to Swanage as
ballast for the retum jou of the stone barges The carved Toad on the gatepost is by local sculptor Jonathan Sells.

Abbey church. Built 1907-1932, on the foundations of the medieval Cistercian abbey church (except the east end). FA Walters. For the Benedictine monks who established a house here in 1882. Most of the building work was carried out by a small group of monks working under a master mason. Snecked local grey limestone with Ham Hill dressings; copper roof. Style "mixture of English Cistercian and French early Gothic" (Pevsner). 1965 east end Blessed Sacrament chapel to the designs of Paul Pearn. Plan: church with 8-bay lean-to aisles plus galleried western bay; central crossing tower; transepts with chapels; 3-bay choir with choir aisles; east end Blessed Sacrament chapel with undercroft. EXTERIOR: west end of nave with flanking projecting buttresses containing stairs to gallery, rising as pinnacles with broach spire roofs, bases and pinnacles decorated with blind arcading. Round-headed west doorway with shafts, left and right shafts with cushion capitals and carved gable. Doorway has 3 orders of zigzag, billet and chevron moulding on engaged shafts; 2-leaf door with elaborate ironwork. Above the doorway a recessed 3-centred blind moulded arch containing 2 round-headed windows with shafts and a roundel window above. Above the archway blind arcading decorates the gable. West ends of lean-to aisles have smaller versions of the buttresses flanking the nave and paired round-headed openings (one blind) with roundels above. North side of 9-bay nave has pilasters and a corbelled parapet. Round-headed triforium windows linked by string rising as continuous hoodmould. Nave with parapet and round-headed windows, the hoodmould string interrupted by the pilasters. Small gabled porch in second bay from the west with set-back buttresses, parapet and round-headed outer doorway with shafts and chevron-carved arch. Easternmost 2 bays of aisle with taller roof and blind arcading above the windows. North end of north transept with tall paired arches containing 4 tiers of glazed blind and glazed windows, either round-headed or roundels. East side of transept has one-bay chapel. The choir continues in the same style with lean-to choir aisle roofs. 1965 concrete east end chapel on 4 columns with shallow gabled roof. Tower with 3 stages above nave roof. Clasping pilasters; corner pinnacles with 2 tiers of blind arcading and broach spires, crow-stepped parapet. Lower stage has lancet windows in round-headed recesses, middle stage has small lancet windows in moulded arched recesses; 2-light plate-traceried louvred belfry windows. INTERIOR: Stone-vaulted, the aisles with transverse vaults. Arcades with piers with engaged shafts and chamfred and moulded arches. Nave rib vault with red sandstone infill. Triforium has a pair of 2-light pointed arches to each bay with super-ordinate round-headed blind arch. Aisle walls decorated with blind round-headed recesses containing triple round-headed arches on shafts with moulded bases and carved capitals. Stone-vaulted west end gallery on piers with canted bays to parapet. Tower arches on short paired shafts with moulded bases and carved capitals. Crossing has corbelled stone gallery; transepts have simple galleries on moulded corbels with cast-iron railings. Choir has similar detail to nave but carved, not moulded capitals and stone infill to the vaulting of choir and choir aisles. East end of sanctuary has 2 round-headed arches and 2 round-headed windows above the triforium with a central shaft rising to a carving of the Coronation of the Virgin. The furnishings, floors, painted decoration and stained glass are unexpectedly lavish, particularly the outstanding metalwork, which is mostly 1928-1932 by Bernhard Witte of Aachen, inspired by German Romanesque metalwork and described in some detail in Pevsner. The stained glass is a remarkable collection, mostly still in the medievalising Victorian tradition and of the highest quality. In addition the church contains a C16 ivory crucifix donated by the Clifford family of Ugbrooke, the leading Roman Catholic family in Devon. 1965 Blessed Sacrament chapel by Paul Pearn conceived as a setting for ambitious mosaic stained glass designed by Father Charles Norris, one of the Buckfast Abbey monks. Historical note: the rebuilding of the abbey church by the Buckfast monks was well-publicised in the national and local press and one of the monks with an interest in photography recorded much of the work: the archive is held by the abbey. Buckfast Abbey became an important focus for Roman Catholicism in Devon in the late C19 and C20 with the monks serving private chapels in the area, including Ugbrooke in Chudleigh for the Clifford family and Dundridge in Harberton for the wife of Sir John Harvey.

Initially, half of Connecticut was a part of the Dutch colony, New Netherland, which included much of the land between the Connecticut and Delaware rivers.
The first major settlements were established in the 1630s by the English
